3:00 pm on July 21, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Property owner Noureldin Moustafa has filed applications for a four-story, two-unit residential building at 143 Bay 47th Street, in southern Gravesend.

One of the apartments will span the ground and second floors, followed by the other apartment on the third and fourth floor. The upper unit will feature a roof terrace. Douglas Pulaski’s Brooklyn-based Bricolage Designs is the architect of record. The 20-foot-wide, 1,933-square-foot property is currently vacant. It was occupied by a brick garage until that was demolished in early 2015. The Bay 50th Street stop on the D train is located three blocks away.

Under the post-Hurricane Sandy Build It Back Program, property owner Robert J. Quill has filed applications for a three-story, three-unit residential building at 228 Beach 109th Street, in Seaside, located along the Rockaways in Queens.

They would be located on two floors above a flood-resistant ground floor. Financial District-based CSA Group is the architect of record. An existing two-story house must first be demolished. Demolition permits haven’t been filed. The Beach 105th Street stop on the A and Rockaway Park Shuttle trains is three blocks away.

Mineola, N.Y.-based Shilony Assaf has filed applications for three two-story, two-family houses at 219-05 112th Avenue, in Queens Village. Only one individual new building permit has been filed so far, although all three houses will likely be similar in size. The houses should measure roughly 3,720 square feet, and across all there, there will be 6,528 square feet of residential space. All six full-floor units should average 1,088 square feet apiece, indicative of family-sized configurations. There will also be at least three off-street parking spaces. David Nagan’s Fresh Meadows-based King David Architecture is the architect of record. The 80-foot-wide, 10,138-square-foot property is currently occupied by a two-story, single-family house. Demolition and subdivision permits were filed in June.

Developer Seeks Variance for 10-Story, Nine-Unit Residential Project at 142 West 19th Street, Chelsea

10:00 am on July 21, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Developer Urban Standard Development is now seeking a variance from the Board of Standards and Appeals to build three extra stories as part of a 10-story, nine-unit residential project at 142 West 19th Street, in Chelsea. The developer requires a variance from the city to build a project taller than seven stories, the height of the adjacent buildings, due to zoning rules that restrict new buildings on narrow lots from being taller than their immediate neighbors, DNAinfo reported. Filings with the Buildings Department currently resemble the 10-story proposal. If a variance is granted, the project would measure 16,903 square feet and its residential units would probably average 1,803 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. Two of them would be duplexes. Earlier this year, YIMBY revealed a preliminary rendering of a seven-story building that can be built without a variance. Think! Architecture and Design is behind the design. A four-story, seven-unit residential building must first be demolished.

6:00 am on July 21, 2016 By Reid Wilson

DNA Development has acquired, for $37.2 million, the seven-story parking garage at 12 West 48th Street, located mid-block between Fifth and Sixth avenues in Midtown. The developer is planning to build an unspecified amount of boutique retail space, Real Estate Weekly reported. The 7,531-square-foot property can accommodate up to 90,372 square feet of mixed-use development as-of-right and is zoned for residential, commercial, and community facility space. If the developer follows through with a solely commercial building, up to 75,310 square feet of space can be built. New building applications haven’t been filed, although demolition permits were submitted in June. Completion is expected in early 2018.

Mixed-Use Commercial Conversion Planned for Eight-Story Coney Island Theater Building, 1301 Surf Avenue

4:00 pm on July 20, 2016 By Reid Wilson

The first preliminary renderings have been revealed of the planned mixed-use commercial conversion of the eight-story, 115,000-square-foot Coney Island Theater Building (a.k.a. Shore Theater), an individual landmark at 1301 Surf Avenue, located on the corner of Stillwell Avenue on Coney Island. PYE Properties currently plans to transform the property into retail space and a hotel, while restoring the existing theater, which has been rapidly deteriorating, to an entertainment venue, Brooklyn Daily reported. Office and community space may also be included, depending on the tenants that show interest. Alteration permits haven’t yet been filed with the Buildings Department. Since the building is a landmark, the Landmarks Preservation Commission must approved any exterior alterations. PYE acquired the Shore Theater in January for $20 million. The Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue stop on the D/F and N/Q trains is across the street.
